Version 0.01 EARLY BETA of player heatmaps is available. You can access them from the match replay section.
Ok. Thanks. I didn’t remember this was a consequence of the forced transfers.
CPU buying decision was improved slightly. The change aims to avoid the common scenario where a CPU team buys a player that has just slightly better potential than the one in their squads they consider the worst suitable for a given position, and then decide to sell the bought player not long after.
Morale has been disabled after the player negotiation priority and forced transfer changes. The logic was not working very well and the intent of losing a player due to bad morale would not immediately work well with the new features. Instead of reintroducing morale what we may do in the future is make player priorities more complex.
Did I miss something? I can’t find the morale of my players anymore.
Forced Transfer have just become a bit easier. A player will no longer reject the offer if your team is worse than his current team with regards to his priority, he will only do it if you are below the rejection point (meaning he would reject even if he was transfer listed). That means in the majority of case what you really need to work out is how much to offer as transfer price, and of course continuing to offer an acceptable wage to the player that is higher than his current wage.
Despite what the game manual says, there was a bug where some players reached their full potential without developing any traits. This has now been fixed and all players generated from now should have developed one positive and one negative trait by the time they reach their full potential. Some of the current players will still have the issue and will reach their potential with 0 or 1 trait instead.
After recent changes to increase the number of players kept by CPU teams we’ve noticed the logic used to decide which players they loan needed to be changed to ensure such players got match time and were not loaned just to sit on the bench. This has now been done and their loaning behaviour should be back to normal once the league starts.
CPU teams will update their investments following a new logic and schedule. The aim here is to have investment levels more aligned to the team’s financial situation and avoid money waste with upgrades/downgrades.
A significant change was applied to our infrastructure. Please let us know if you see any issues. We’ve noticed performance is a little better, do you guys agree? Voice your opinion!
Our match replay controls were not displaying, and our table sorting pictures (arrows) were not appearing. These bugs have now been fixed.
Thanks, I set them up via the Formation Strategies page, just wasn’t sure if you had to select which players were subs on the Basic and Squad page first.
All players that are not injured or suspended are available as subs during a match, if they’re not in the field already, of course. You can create specific substitution rules in the Formation Strategies page.
Remember we’re talking about forcing a team to sell a player it was not willing to sell in the first place. I’m sure for average players the required amount would be unreasonable, but for the top or very promising ones I believe it is not, given the amount of money some teams were able to accumulate in the game. The estimated value is not really a good measure of the player’s quality when he gets to that level, hopefully this is something we can address in a future update.
Regarding your 15M offer it is very unlikely to be accepted by any CPU team. The rule is that the offer needs to be between 1 and 3 times the team money balance, depending on which player you’re trying to buy, so assuming you were trying to buy the best player of the team your offer would only have been accepted if the team had 5M or less…again, very unlikely.
I’ve seen a few managers succeed in this new model already which tells me it is not too bad. The way it was before it was becoming to easy to “steal” players from CPU teams for an unfair price.
Can you select subs on the ‘Basic and Squad’ page and if so how do you do it?
Is there any chance to buy player by forced transfer?
I try to buy player worth 3M for 15M and my offer was refused!! :(
That’s INSANE!
I understand you’re upset Houddog, but there is no simple way for us to re-simulate a match without major manual intervention. I could go there and simply change the result, adjust the league table, etc (all manual still) but your opponents could argue it is not fair either. Nobody wants these things to happen and we do our best in our spare time to fix bugs, add new features and keep things running smoothly, but unfortunately every now and then something really bad like this happens.
Who knows how many times this has happened before? Not everyone watches the replays and, even worse, matches between CPU teams don’t even have replays recorded so we wouldn’t know. We definitely want to track this down or at least have some way to identify when this happens again!
5 goals vs Chelsea today. As my previous game against them malfunctioned, i definitely think i should be given the win from the first game.
Except players from inactive teams – those only age when the team is active
That answers the question , thanks Gabriel :)
should be back to normal now. please let us know if not.

There is an issue with the formations screen, it is always displaying the mobile version, even when using a desktop/laptop. We’ll disable that version while we investigate the problem.
There were no changes, what happened is that the mobile version is being displayed even when you are not using your mobile to access the game! While we investigate we will temporarily disable the mobile version.
Every season their age increases by 1. Was that the question or have I misunderstood you?
Sorry but i dont like the new formation changes. Its confusing and time consuming trying to set the formation in comparison to how it was previously.
Ahh, it was stupid. The page lets me change all players, except for the goalkeeper. Weird. No idea why I cant change the goalie when on the Formation Strategies page.
Hi,
On the webpage, using firefox, I just removed my goalkeeper. I want to use my other goalie to start the next match. However, the screen is broken just like the mobile phone app on my android.
I am unable to put a goalkeeper in to start the match. Can you fix this please. Thanks
Regards,
I use my normal computer
- no more ways to change players in the “basic and squad” screen
- no more pace wait time when you use the replay
Thanks for reporting Dirk! Danilo is aware of the issues in the formation screen after the latest update, he’ll try to look into it today.
Cheers
